After playing for a little while, I managed to connect my Macbook Pro to the internet using my mobile phone via bluetooth. I have a small Samsung ZV10 and my service provider is Vodafone New Zealand. The steps are quite simple:

• Click the bluetooth icon in the topbar and select ‘setup bluetooth device…’.
• Check that the phone is running bluetooth and that is discoverable (Under settings, connectivity).
• Select mobile phone in the list of available devices.
• The computer will search and—we hope—find your mobile phone.
• The computer will generate a numeric passkey that has to be keyed in and accepted in the phone.
• Select ‘Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection’ in the next menu.
• The settings to connect to Vodafone in New Zealand are:
  • username: vodafone.
  • password: vodafone.
  • GPRS CID string: *99#
  • Modem script: Vodafone VC701SI

This explanation is based on the excellent—and illustrated—version by Pukupi.
